When product variety shifts from being a roadblock to a driver of growth.
The new VDMA Industry Guide for Software and Digitalization 2026 is here—and we’re thrilled to be featured with a two-page spread!
Why?
Because we don’t just understand the realities of mechanical and plant engineering—we actively shape them. In a world where complexity is often seen as an obstacle, we show you how to turn product variety into a scalable competitive advantage
The harsh reality:
Many companies are overwhelmed by their own capabilities. Bidding processes take weeks, tie up valuable experts, and incur enormous costs before a contract is even in sight.

The SAE approach:
We don’t view CPQ as just another IT tool, but as a strategic infrastructure.
We don’t come from the CRM world; instead, we have a deep understanding of product logic.
The result:
✅ Quotes in minutes, not days.
✅ Full transparency regarding margins and risks.
✅ Independence from individual experts.
